Google to launch mobile phone to challenge iPhone's dominance.
January 19 2010 : Motorola seems to be basing its entire smartphone line-up on the Google Android platform. The latest handset spotted, belonging to this line, is the Motorola Zeppelin, which will launch as the XT800 by China Telecom.
The XT800 is yet another full-touchscreen smartphone with rounded corners, directed to consumers of the country's third-largest mobile operator. It will feature both GSM and CDMA radio technologies for compatibility with China Telecom's 3G network.
The device will also have a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, HD video recording, a 3.1" multi-touch display with 480x320 pixels in resolution, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, dual-SIM support, GPS, a 3.5mm audio jack, and HDMI output.
According to the latest information, the smartphone will be renamed Titanium and possibly sold under Sprint or Verizon in the US, with EV-DO support. Currently only Verizon Wireless. T-Mobile USA and Sprint retail Google Android smartphones, with AT&T rumoured to be launching two soon - Motorola Backflip/Enzo and HTC Lancaster - for a late launch, as the network hasn't showed any confidence in Google's open-source platform.
Google mobile phone launch date postponed in China
Google on Tuesday postponed the planned launch of its mobile phone in China amid a dispute with the government over Internet censorship and e-mail hacking that the search giant says may force it to leave the country.
"It is postponed," Google Inc. spokeswoman Marsha Wang said. She said a launch ceremony planned for Wednesday was canceled but declined to give a reason for the decision or to say when the launch might be rescheduled.
Also Tuesday, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said the search giant must obey China's laws and traditions, suggesting the government was giving no ground in talks over Internet censorship and Google's threat to pull out of the country.
It was the government's first direct comment on Google since the U.S. company said Jan. 12 it would no longer censor search results in China and might shut down its China-based site Google.cn. The announcement prompted an outpouring of support from Chinese Web surfers, who left flowers at Google offices and pleaded with the company to stay.
Google's phone is an effort by the company to join in competition for a share of China's mobile phone market, which is the world's most populous.
Google's announcement shocked the international business community and cheered many free-speech advocates. The Chinese government blocks access to Web sites abroad run by human rights groups and dissidents and material deemed subversive or pornographic.
